Al-Nassr vs Al-Hilal: Preview
Despite remaining unbeaten in the league so far, Al-Nassr’s three draws in their first eight games have left them trailing the early leaders. While there’s plenty of time left in the season, this upcoming match feels pivotal if they want to stay in the title race.
In contrast, Al-Hilal is looking every bit like a team destined for another championship. The Blue Waves have been flawless across both league and cup competitions, winning all 15 of their matches so far. Their latest victory was a convincing 4-1 triumph over Al Tai in the King’s Cup midweek.
Al-Nassr vs Al-Hilal: Team News
Al-Nassr
Al-Nassr had a bit of a scare when Aymeric Laporte had to leave the field with a knock against Al Kholood last week. However, the defender bounced back in their game against Al-Taawoun, where he played the full 90 minutes, suggesting he’s fit and ready for the upcoming clash.
Cristiano Ronaldo, who sat out the match against Al Kholood, returned midweek but struggled to find the back of the net. This marks four straight matches without an open-play goal for the Portuguese star across all competitions. For Al-Nassr, the only significant injury concern is Sami Al-Najei, who is expected to be sidelined for the rest of the season after undergoing surgery for a cruciate ligament injury.
Al-Hilal
On the visitors’ side, Neymar remains unavailable for the league due to not being registered with the Saudi Pro League at the start of the season following his long-term injury. However, he is eligible to play in the AFC Champions League. Aleksander Mitrovic, meanwhile, has been on fire, scoring his 10th league goal in the win over Al-Taawoun. This puts the Serbian striker two goals ahead of Karim Benzema and four clear of Ronaldo in the race for this season’s top-scorer title.
Possible Starting XI
Al-Nassr’s possible starting lineup: Bento; Al-Ghannam, Simakan, Laporte, Al-Najdi; Yahya, Brozovic; Otavio, Talisca, Mane; Ronaldo. Al-Hilal’s possible starting lineup: Bounou; Cancelo, Koulibaly, Al Bulaihi, Lodi; Kanno, Milinkovic-Savic; Malcom, Leonardo, Al-Dawsari; Mitrovic
Al-Nassr vs Al-Hilal: Prediction
The match will be a great watch as both teams are stacked with high-quality players. Those three points are very important; both teams will do their best to secure them. Al-Hilal has an edge to win the fixture by a close margin. However, as they have been in the past few matches, Al-Nassr won’t stay quiet and will be lethal enough on counter-attacks.
